After the first Porsche sports car, the so-called Porsche No. 1, was individually licensed for road traffic as early as the 8th of June 1948, in March 1949, Porsche presented its first production sports car at the Geneva Salon de l‘Auto, the legendary Porsche 356. Using classical tuning techniques, such as modified cylinder heads and twin carburettors, on the 4-cylinder boxer engine taken over from the VW Beetle, the engine power of the first Porsche 356 could be increased to a respectable 40 hp. Between 1949 and 1950, a total of 44 coupé and 8 convertible versions of the so-called „Gmünd Porsche 356“ were entirely hand-built. In 1950, Porsche moved back to its main factory in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen in which, by the end of production of the type 365 in April 1965, slightly over 76,000 of this sports car icon were produced. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this legendary Porsche 356 Gmünd Coupé to a scale of 1:43 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models. By means of this highgrade model material, it is possible to produce very rare and exotic exemplary vehicles in perfect quality and also in low and exclusive production runs.

Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.

The following information is from the Canada Post website:

Canada Post will welcome back employees represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) on Saturday, October 11 as the union moves from a full, national strike to rotating strikes. Plans are now underway to ensure a safe and orderly restart of our national operations, which were shut down without warning on September 25 following the union’s sudden national strike.

While postal services will begin to resume next week, uncertainty and instability in the postal service will continue with the union’s decision to conduct rotating strikes.

Shutting down and restarting parts of our integrated national network with rotating strikes has always challenged our ability to provide reliable service to customers. As a result, all service guarantees will be suspended.

Moving from a full, national strike to rotating strikes

With CUPW’s announcement to move to rotating strikes starting Saturday, October 11 at 6:00 am local time, we will have to manage both resuming operations and potential disruption at select facilities. At this time, we are not aware of which locations will be impacted when rotating strike activity begins.

What this means for your business

Given the duration of the national strike and with rotating strikes expected, when our operations resume we will need to begin processing the mail and parcels trapped in our network.

As we continue to operate with an unstable network, it will take time to clear the trapped volume and manage operational resources, so customers should expect delays in processing and delivery.

Some limitations will apply after our operations resume – including for pickups and drop-offs. Because of this, new commercial volumes will not be accepted into the network until Wednesday, October 15. This means we will not pick up or accept mail or parcels at our plants or depots until this date.

In addition, on-time delivery guarantees for parcel services remain suspended and date-specific Neighbourhood Mail will not be available. We will notify you as soon as we are able to resume these services.

We’re committed to keeping you informed and providing you with more details on what to expect over the next few days. Look for more information in advance of Wednesday.

What to expect during rotating strikes

Rotating strike activity may be isolated to specific locations, affecting those areas for a specified period of time. 

During a rotating strike, Canada Post will accept, process and deliver mail and parcels in unaffected areas, but you can still expect delays.

Once an item is inducted in our network, it will be secure but cannot be retrieved if that facility is affected by a rotating strike. Items will be delivered as quickly as possible after a disruption is over and operations resume. 

Dear Valued Customers,

During the strike, orders delivered by Canada Post will be forwarded to other couriers if shipping costs allow.

For orders where shipping costs are insufficient, we will contact you and offer you the option of paying the additional shipping cost to switch to another courier or cancelling your order.

Will provide updates if there are any changes to postal operations.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time. If you have urgent delivery needs, please consider using a courier other than Canada Post.
